ALI kinds of mental and physical

| All kinds of mental and physical
work proceed by better sustained at
tention. The difference between an
Isaac Newton and an ordinary mortal
is shown in the ease with which the
| occupation of the day is thrown aside
| in order to do what is described as
terrifying the inner man." New
ton could concentrate his
mind upon a subject so as
to be oblivious of all else, including
eating and sleeping, for twenty-four
hours. think there is no appropriate
ness in comparing the too frequently
loaded human stomach to an engine
which is all fired and working splend-
idly when the fire is buried under new
Goals and the steam cooled down by a
deluge of water. / am convinced that
there ought to be an interval of at
least seven hours between the two
meals of the day. If there must be a
brief rest from labor at no on, it will be
found healthier to do any thing else
| than eat and drink.
Nature is quicker to forgive the mis-
take of sleeping, bathing or walking
too much than the fault of depressing
the whole man with an unnecessary
load of food. The theory that the
stomach demands something to sustain
| it after few hours from the last time
| it took food is as wild as that horse
should be put to work in a very little
while after it has had hard service.
The stomach is not dependent upon
work for its health, except as. Of
course, it and the whole body must
have the blood made from it's digested
food; but this blood does not need re-
plenishing SO often as is supposed,
considering that it remains in the sys-
tenn and continues an endless circuit.
Disease is occasioned by the over
| fatigue of the digestive system, just as
| oyerwork kills the horse. Many per-
sons of mature judgment obtain relief
from bodily troubles by fasts of three
| days. / have often tried this expert
ment. and have always found that the
stomach gains in tone. l have even
done the seven-day fast studying and
working the whole time, and believe it
did me good.
Fasting for long periods has to be
done intelligently or it may do more
harm than good. I can fully ap-
preciate the danger of advising any
particular course of action outside the
line beyond which everyday people
should go; but there is good ground
for advising them TO become accus-
toned to two meals.
When Christ sat at the well in
Samaria waiting for his victuals it was
six o'clock, p. M. Roman reckoning.
He is never mentioned as having eaten
at noon. The eating habits of His
disciples were the same. The only ex-
ccption to the general record was st.
Peter, who is said to have eaten u
noon meal on the roof at Joppa; but,
Judging from what appears elsewhere
concerning him, believe he was then
only breaking his fast for the day.
The Chinese habit of eating only
twice day is confined to those who do
not work in the fields The latter
mentioned class eat three times.
To break off the habit of eating the
noon meal it only requires about four
days persistent fasting. After that
the craving for food will become more
and more moderate, and ultimately
disappear. Herald of Health.

While the writing-room in her own

her. people stand first things after

grandest poem fall in fragments about
her feet rather than wound the feel
ings of the smallest child about her.
So she answers their questions. gives
directions when helpful, joins in the

the joke that she seems pleased
with kisses the baby, takes
hold of some millinery or dress

goes right on with the poem, from
which it must have cost supreme eff
fort to turn aside. She neither wrig-
giles nor writhes. uplifts her eyes nor
drops her head. But for an unusual
light in the wine-colored eyes and q
slightly increasing color, one might
imagine her engaged in writing an or
binary letter to friend.

to betoken moving of the composing
